Touch of Mink Dog Sweater

Lion Brand® Microspun - Fun Fur

GAUGE:

16 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) with smaller needles and 2 strands of A held tog in St st (k on RS, p on WS).
13 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) with larger needles and 1 strand each of B and C held tog in Garter st (k all rows). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
